The citizenship requirements for Vice President are the same as for President; he or she must be a citizen of the USA and a "natural-born" citizen. The Constitution doesn't actually define what that means but Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"
- Anyone born inside the United States *
- Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe
- Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
- Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
- Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
- Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
- Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
- A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
* There is an exception in the law - the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.

Did any US presidents not have a vice president?
Prior to 1967, anytime a president died in office his vice president took the office of president and did not have a vice president for the remainder of that term. Until the ratification of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, there was no requirement to replace a vice president. For example, Chester Arthur served out the rest of President Garfield's term without a vice president.There have been many occasions in which a President did not have a vice president during one of his terms. For example, Franklin Pierce did not have a vice president for almost all of his term. His vice president, William R. King, died after only 45 days in office.(see the related question)(see Sources and related links below for a complete listing of all of the presidents and their vice presidents, including periods in which they had no vice president)
